North Vancouver RCMP are warning the public after a case of attempted child luring in Lynn Valley.
Investigators say a 13-year-old boy was walking home around 3 p.m. on Wednesday Oct. 14 when a man in a red Toyota SUV stopped alongside him, opened the passenger door and offered him a ride home.
The young boy wisely walked away from the offer, police say, but they are now looking for the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect.
Police describe the suspect as white, approximately 30 years old with curly dark hair and a dark beard. The SUV had a black leather interior and lollipops in the cup holder. The first number on its licence plate is a nine.
Anyone with information about the incident or the suspect is asked to call North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or solvecrime.ca.
